About me
Live-Event Artist for Personalisation
My name is Ann. I love beautiful letters and love sharing them with others. As a cheerful and sociable person, I am always happiest when I get to work with people on site. The best moment is when I get to present a personalized object at a live event and see how happy it makes the recipient. I also enjoy sharing my knowledge in colorful hand lettering workshops.
In my private life, I live with my family in beautiful Düsseldorf. I love being in the garden and on the Rhine, or mingling with the colorful hustle and bustle of Düsseldorf’s old town.
My Portfolio
Here is a little insight into my colorful world. Whether brush pens or engraving tools, pointed nibs or chalk, I use them to conjure up lettering on almost any surface and with a variety of techniques.
